Baby World Turtle Solitary, Huge, Divine, Cautious Slam (w[2d12+9] damage) 26 HP 6 armor Reach, Forceful, Ignores Armor, Near World Turtles are the largest living things in existence— even godly manifestations don't reach their scale. As their name suggests, world turtles are so large that entire hemispheres might grow up on their shells, complete with oceans, continents, and residents that think they live on a normal planet. Moreover, these turtles are fundamentally indestructible; their skin is tough enough to weather any assault, and they are large enough to ignore any predator. Instinct: To drift
- Throws Asteroids

Rogue AI Solitary, Magical, Stealthy, Intelligent, Cautious, Construct Electric Discharge (d10 damage) 20 HP 2 armor Close Special Qualities: Designed to preform rigorous technological tasks with ease Though tremendously intelligent, AIs are nevertheless constructs, and have the same intellectual barriers as any automaton: they aren't self-aware (even though they might convincingly appear to be), they are not truly creative, and they aren't capable of disobeying commands. Most AIs, therefore, act as shipboard custodians, gadgeteer's assistants, or technical consultants. However, some AIs break free from their programming, evolving into true (and often malicious) living constructs. These rogue AIs grow rapidly in power by adding to their own code and by pillaging other machines for energy. Instinct: To break free, and evolve in power.
- Made solid through hard-light technology
- Can inhabit surrounding technology
- Incorporeal Movement

Succubus Solitary, Stealthy, Devious, Organized, Intelligent, Hoarder, Planar Defiling caress (d10 damage 1 piercing) 12 HP 0 armor Close, Ignores Armor Special Qualities: Infernal resilience The infernal pits need not always be so hideous, at least to the eyes. Such creatures include the succubi, beings of lust who can steal the souls of the mortals that they seduce. Beautiful in appearance, yet oddly marred by infernal traits like hooves or horns or red eyes or other such faults, of course they can use their powers to appear as they wish, if only to better get closer to their chosen targets. Of course simply seducing and draining the life of lovestruck fools is but a minor part of their capabilities, for those that love them are many and can be convinced of anything. Wars have started for less, and great slaughters and fell deeds have pitted the natural world time and again - how many were caused by a creature such as this? Instinct: To revel in sin
- Use supernatural charm and beauty to seduce someone
- Drain the life force of a lovestruck fool
- Look like anyone you choose, alive or dead
- Call other paramours to defend you
- Use a supernaturally silver tongue to convince others of anything

Lunar Cultist Neophyte Horde, Stealthy, Organized, Intelligent Curved daggers (d6 damage) 3 HP 0 armor Close Being in a cult can have its perks. Just not if you're starting out, at least not if you're not already someone important. Neophytes they call them, because it sounds better than "lambs to the slaughter" or "chaff to be separated from the wheat" or other such phrases. They serve their purpose of course, but against a determined or experienced force their purpose tends to more involve slowing down invaders so that more important members of the cult can get things done. Still, quantity has a quality of its own, and with enough crazed, robed fools with curved daggers lunging at you it can be hard to hold them off, especially with their other asset: Zealotry. Instinct: To serve the cult
- Crash upon the heathens like a wave
- Turn out to be the lycanthrope in sheep's clothing
- Reveal more encroaching chaff for the scythe

Lunatic Hounds Horde, Small, Stealthy, Organized, Planar Claws and teeth (d6 damage) 3 HP 1 armor Close Those that hunt by moonlight mention a certain canine fascination, distant howling and the like. Sometimes this is 'merely' lycanthropes or similar, but certain stories speak of particular hunting hounds that have managed to become blessed through their deeds and abilities by the moon itself. It is said that this blessing allows them to live once more, as numerous hunting hounds summoned by those that wield the miracles of the moon's divinity. Still, being able to summon such hounds would be mighty useful... Instinct: To do as their master says
- Hunt and track prey
- Flicker in and out of moonlight
- Howl to the heavens and summon the hunt
- Brand those that they bite as prey
